Session rate prediction for multimedia streaming

Uses of multimedia on video and audio application are increasing day-by-day on mobile devices. The continuity of these applications may hamper due to improper session rates during transmission. In this study we survey various papers for session rate prediction of streaming media using network traffic prediction methods. Also bandwidth estimation is carried out for the wireless network which plays a significant role in predicting the session rates. Our proposed session rate expression helps to understand the significance of predicting the session rate for streaming media in mobile wireless network. We study various proposals in this regard and the state-of-the-art analytical analysis is presented followed by our notations.
